[Verse 1]
E D
I was raised on a Tennessee hillside
A D
Where blackberry bushes grow thick (Grow thick)
E D
With feet like the soul of a workin' man's boot
A D
And a head like a weight made of lead
E D
Crooked grin, thorn stickin' out my shoulder
A D
Hair too damn long, oh well (Oh well)
E D
They tell me take a break, I'm sorry I can't
A D
Tennesseans make music year 'round (Year round)
[Chorus]
E D A D
I can't help it, God put me in a place of green
E D A D
Even the tractors got the same damn color paint
E D
Same ol' rivers and same ol' streams
A D
Cut that exhaust off, son, let it scream
E D
God bless the south, I'll never shut my mouth
A D
And I'm proud to be from Tennessee
E D A
Tennessee, Tennessee
D E D A D
I'm proud to be from Tennessee, mmm
[Verse 2]
E D
My favorite shirt has the arms cut out
A D
With a couple old tobacco stains (Tobacco stains)
E D
I've burnt up every Kenny Chesney album drinkin' Coors Light (Drinkin' Coors Light)
A D
Been sunburnt on a lake (On a lake)
E D
And I wanna know how forever feels (Forever feels)
A D
But not in no hall of fame (Hall of fame)
E D
'Cause I'll always be in a holler with the workin' man (Workin' man)
A D
And that's somethin' nobody can take (Nobody can take)
[Chorus]
E D A D
I can't help it, God put me in a place of green
E D A D
Even the tractors got the same damn color paint
E D
Same ol' rivers and same ol' streams

Cut that exhaust off, son, let it scream
